I agree
the most successful people (whether you measure success by career, family, or relationships) are people who have risked a lot and at times lost a lot as well.

Okay, I know this is so cliche`, but...
..."nothing ventured, nothing gained." I wouldn't call a life of total passivity a
life at all. Rocks have the same existence. Human's are emotive beings, with all the risk that entails. If we look back, we see that our moments of greatest emotional fulfillment, were those moments when we opened ourselves up and risked hurt. I guess the axiom of "taking the good with the bad" applies here, also. Sorry if I get preachy, sometimes. Thought provoking posts have a way of doing that to me.

Seedlings-
If you don't try (or ask), you can guarantee you'll get a "no."

Is true
Buddha's dad did everything to prevent him from seeing the harsh realities of the world beyond their privileged grounds. But after Siddhartha journeyed outside the confines of the perceived sanctuary, that's when he became a master.
No greater tragedy than the life unlived. Life without pain is like saying dry water. Give me a nothing with everything on it.
